The serial number looks like 52941 to me. That would make it 1945, probably a Blackstone.

and Db (b7). Well, it's okay. I probably should have continued the soloing over the last chord. I'll probably do another one in Bb sometime. I kept finishing early on the solos because he...

Maybe that’s part of the reason I’ve always enjoyed Pat the most as a sideman https://youtu.be/2KvF6nYIOvA?si=iD4l2HA2bJ2ijn7B Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Axe Fx III, Helix, or Boss GT 1000 for Metheny like jazz tones

The guy I go to has stuff with intermittent faults on all day. Or is continually turning stuff on and off. Sometimes it can take weeks but he gets there in the end. And like I've said before he...

Are Modern Amps Repairable?

even that is no guarantee. About 5 years ago, I bought a very high end class A head by one of the manufacturers who people fall all over in this and the gearpage forums. Completely hand wired with...

Are Modern Amps Repairable?

I don't know. There is always something to be said about the sound in the hands of the player. All though I've never been a fan of Metheny's sound, It sounds pretty processed to me.

Axe Fx III, Helix, or Boss GT 1000 for Metheny like jazz tones

Hey, that's actually a good idea. :encouragement: There's nothing wrong with Gibsons or Epiphones, but then there's nothing wrong either with most of all the other makers out there - among them...

Agreed. I find the notion that we're SUPPOSED to be able to explain our creative and mechanical processes at all times to be disturbing. It tends to devalue actual improvisation. Q. Sam, what...

I'm having a real problem with that lately. I sold 2 pedals and an amp..... and bought 1 pedal and 2 guitars :rolleyes: I'm supposed to be purging... I have too much stuff and not enough room!

Seventy Seven Hawk Jazz Deep on Reverb

Metheny did roll off a bit, but he points out that the volume pot on his 175 didn't do that much. I would agree from my own experience, something like a modern Ibanez would give you much more of a...
